It can get cumbersome
Have you
used
some of
these
command
s and
tried
creating a
Grid ?

7. STEPS THAT I WILL TRY TO DEMO
1
Launching simple Chrome Debug Selenium Grid, Running and Viewing
Tests
2 Launching simple Firefox Debug Selenium Grid, Running and Viewing
Tests
3 Using Docker-compose creating grid and running the tests
4 Running tests using Maven Plugin for docker-compose on the fly grid creation
and destruction

8. I am using an Ubuntu 16.04.6 VM
on a cloud with the following
setup.
- JDK 1.8
- Maven
- Docker
164.52.193.131

9. Selenium Test that I am going to use is
simple
1. Visit SeleniumSummit21 site
2. Wait for the title to have
#SeleniumSummit21
3. Go to speaker page
4. Get all the names of the speakers

10. Demo 0 – Normal Selenium Test

11. Launching simple Chrome Debug
Selenium Grid, Running and
Viewing Tests

12. Demo 1 – Creating a Chrome Debug Grid and
running the test on that Grid, viewing from
VNC Server

19. 3
Using Docker-compose creating
grid and running the tests

20. Installing docker compose
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.28.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-
$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
docker-compose --version
Reference2 :

21. version: "3"
services:
hub:
image: selenium/hub
ports:
- "4446:4444"
chrome1:
image: selenium/node-chrome
depends_on:
- hub

- HUB_HOST=hub
chrome2:

depends_on:

environment:

docker-compose.yaml
Image reference: https://www.qekafe.com/selenium-grid-formation-using-
docker-compose up -d

22. docker-compose scale <service name> = <no of instances>
docker-compose scale chrome2 = 3
docker-compose up --scale chrome2=3 -d
Scaling nodes at run time

23. Demo 3 – Running tests on the selenium grid
created using docker-compose.yaml file

24. 4
Running tests using Maven
Plugin for docker-compose : on
the fly grid creation and
destruction while running the
tests

26. Demo 4 – Running tests on the selenium grid
created using docker-compose.yaml file, on the fly
by maven plugin.
This can now be part of any CI tool
Create and execute grids on demand..
